Quote this optionYou keep your SUV, rental, or family car; we supply a sober, licensed professional who knows wine country. Everyone in your group gets to enjoy the day—no drawn straws for who drives. Hourly service from $49/hr (base rate) plus 20% gratuity, with a six-hour minimum. Most quotes come back within about 30 minutes by phone, WhatsApp, or email.
How it works
From first message to last drop-off, the path stays simple—so you can focus on the people at your table, not the map.
Date, pickup (hotel, Airbnb, or estate), headcount, and any must-visit stops. Message us on WhatsApp, email, or use the form at the bottom of this page.
We lock timing, assign someone who fits your day, and double-check that your vehicle and itinerary make sense together—before you've poured the first glass.
Your driver meets you on time, runs your route, handles parking and pace, and brings everyone home safely when the plan is done.

Most guests start with an hourly driver in their own car. When that is not the right fit—bigger groups, no rental, or a turnkey night out—we shift you to chauffeured vehicles without changing the level of service.

Wine country is too expensive and too fleeting to spend it watching the clock in a parking lot. We built Napa Tour Expert for guests who want the day to feel effortless.
"We care that your Napa day feels safe, fun, and completely stress-free. Our drivers are professionals who love this work—and it shows in how they show up for you.—— Kathie B., Owner, Napa Tour Expert

Napa Tour Expert's designated driver service starts at $49/hr. A 20% gratuity is charged separately. Most wine day groups book 6-8 hours. We drive your car so there's no separate vehicle cost.
We drive YOUR car. You bring the vehicle, we provide the licensed, insured driver. If you need a vehicle, we also offer sedans, SUVs, party buses, and transit vans — see our fleet page.
We recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks in advance, especially for weekends, harvest season (August-October), and event weekends like BottleRock. Last-minute bookings are sometimes available — WhatsApp us to check availability.
Yes. Napa Tour Expert covers both Napa Valley and Sonoma County. Our drivers know both regions and can plan routes across either area.
No — the $49/hr rate is the base rate only. A 20% gratuity is charged separately. This is standard in the industry and ensures our drivers are fairly compensated.
